Log: Logarithmic Distribution

Description

Density, distribution function, quantile function, and random generation for the logarithmic distribution.

Usage

dlog(x, shape, log = FALSE)
plog(q, shape, lower.tail = TRUE, log.p = FALSE)
qlog(p, shape)
rlog(n, shape)

Value

dlog gives the density,

plog gives the distribution function,

qlog gives the quantile function, and

rlog generates random deviates.

Arguments

x, q, p, n, lower.tail

Same interpretation as in runif.

shape

The shape parameter value \(c\) described in in logff.

log, log.p

Logical. If log.p = TRUE then all probabilities p are given as log(p).

Author

T. W. Yee

The details are given in logff.

Examples

Run this code
dlog(1:20, 0.5)
rlog(20, 0.5)

if (FALSE)  shape <- 0.8; x <- 1:10
plot(x, dlog(x, shape = shape), type = "h", ylim = 0:1,
     sub = "shape=0.8", las = 1, col = "blue", ylab = "shape",
     main = "Logarithmic distribution: blue=PDF; orange=CDF")
lines(x + 0.1, plog(x, shape), col = "orange", lty = 3, type = "h")
